This weekend, Konami announced plans to bring its X-Men arcade game to Xbox Live and PlayStation Network in 2011. This six-player brawler, released in 1992, was one of the forefathers of the modern day beat-em-up, allowing multiple users to band together to kick butt across a variety of stages. Although the publisher hasn’t revealed many details about the port, we decided to take a fond look back at the game to give you an idea what to expect.

The Cowabunga Collection is one of the best retro collections ever. Another '90s pop culture hit, the X-Men, could comprise a similar collection.
Im not so sure. There was only 1 arcade beat em up and the others were fighters. The home games werent that memorable.
The Home xmen games on snes and genesis made by Capcom and Sega were all memorable good
Side action beat em up is the way to go Xmen only have one cabinet I know of that was done by Konami and I have the arcade game on my PS3. Turtles have two arcade cabinets Turtles has always been a beatem up on the NES, SNES and Genesis minus the first game on the NES. Most of the XMEN games are side scrolling platformers or shitty one offs by LJN. You can't rival side action beatem ups with platformers.
Yeah, the x-men game on the nes was ridiculously bad.
And even the snes and genesis games, while they were ok, they aren't games we think of fondly as favorites (well barring this author anyway lol).
Spider-man and the X-Men was mediocre at best but X-Men 2 Clone Wars was actually pretty good especially in the sound department.
Arcade1Up X-Men 4-Player Arcade Machine is an excellent looking cabinet that includes three games with fantastic emulation and sound.
This is nice, but I wish it had all the marvel games from cps-1 and 2. Three games is just not enough
Loved this game. But it has been surpassed by Openbor with games like these.
Marvel Infinity War. Watch any video like this. So many Marvel characters to play and remakes of other games all packed in.

Download Openbor, download the games from Zvitor br or Game jolt, add a Bluetooth controller and enjoy. Or multiple controllers on PC for multiplayer. You'll thank me later. Even Avengers United Battle Force is great.
Also, Justice League Legacy is also awesome for DC action.

Here are five franchises I believe need the turn-based treatment and how it should be done. Check out the article
WANT.
One of the things I HATED about this game at the arcade was that when you used your characters super powers it took away life. And wolverine never healed. :(
Maybe they will release the Spiderman arcade games that let you play as the Submariner and Hawkeye as well?

Does anyone know if this is the same game that was later on the Genesis? I'll be buying this either way but I spent so many hour playing the genesis version.
